Re: [Haskell-cafe] newbie optimization question

One thing I've noticed is that turning on optimizations significantly increases the speed of haskell code. Are you comparing code between languages with -O2 or without opts?

I had done no optimization, but neither -O nor -O2 make a significant difference in either the C or Haskell programs. But using `rem` instead of `mod`, together with the type annotation, makes the two programs take pretty much the same amount of time. --PR
